Rode to my GF’s house for dinner. Dismounted, hung my helmet on the bars, went up on the porch and BLAM!
Damn bike fell over. Parked it there probably 70 times. But typically take my helmet inside with me. Scratched the side up, scratched my visor up, twisted the right side grip to where it was rubbing the front brake lever. Shit shit shit.

It’s not like it’s a show bike, it ain’t a vintage original Harley, it’s my only tagged scoot though and it’s kinda upsetting that I left it in a spot where it would fall over. Damn it.

Still rides ok

At least yours runs.

That sucks.
It gets so windy here in the winter months. Have seen quite a few bikes blown over. My wife's Aprilia went over three times, over the years. Never nice to see.
Will probably need a new helmet now. 😞

My red Keeway. It’s no show bike by any means but it’s depressing.
No center stand on that bike.

Aww, man. Sorry to hear that. I know that feeling. My first scooter was a PCC Angel 50. Wasn't the greatest ever, but I loved that thing. First time it tipped over on kickstand...Nuclear level pissed off.
